This part-time resident of “a town at the base of an Idaho mountain” thanked locals for allowing his family to be among them without making a spectacle of his presence, then emotionally read what he wrote about the things he has learned being there.

Glenn Beck unveils the remnant of an American flag flown at Normandy Beach. “This flag tells the story of people who went into the gates of hell, because it was worth it,” he told a nearly sold-out crowd at the Dahle Fine Arts Center in Dayton Saturday night. He urged people to know their history and said the flag illustrated the courage of past Americans to do what is right.

“My life here is merging with the life of my grandfather,” he said, referring to a changing outlook on life he is developing. “I don’t apologize for what I have said (publicly in the past) because I said what I believe, I said what I know is true – but perhaps I said it with not enough love, not enough compassion.”
